Re: hide and seek
great. that was factual account. it is based on opinions of the societal establishment and on observations.
the distilled form of the issue, eventually comes down to either paying attention or not paying attention to such breach of trust.
means and manners of treatment are a wide spectrum, but the core of this is disappointment and sheer hurtfulness caused to the one who has not cheated and borne as guilt by the cheater.
both live with their given outcomes and for the rest of their lives, they will have paid the premium for being they way they were - one being insolent and dishonest at the highest level, and the other being unaware or unprepared to bear the shock .
the moment when the one who is hurt will rise, is the turning point for the perceptually intelligent other person, to acknowledge and realize openly, what s/he indulged in and accept the dis accord, as a fair punishment.
nothing, still will repair the relationship..
nothing, still will bring back a trustworthiness in the relationship
and thus, the tragedy of distant and embittered people, come full circle.
